SpongeBob + Ween = explicit @01:42 PM

ween.jpg

So, I was curious to hear the spongebob soundtrack, since some of my favorite bands (wilco, flaming lips, shins, etc.) have contributed songs to it.

was very surprised, and delighted, to find that Ween also is on the disc, along with Motorhead!

So was browsing at iTunes music store, and found that the ween track was labeled explicit!

So I illegally downloaded purchased the album, and found that (somewhat to my disappointment) the ween song, "ocean man" while being the 2nd best track (after the wilco cut), is not explicit at all -- just typically strange. So, basically, it seems as though iTunes just flags all Ween songs as explicit. I guess when it comes down to it, all ween songs are probably explicit in some form or another (even if only in intention...).

I guess once you've done something EXPLICIT, it's hard to convince big corporations that you're anything else.

Anyway the primary definition of explicit is: "fully and clearly expressed; leaving nothing implied". Ween in a nutshell.

It's kind of like a movie getting an R rating because it CONTAINS LANGUAGE, as opposed to all the other movies that don't
